Chapter 15: Sacrifice

Xi Yu leaned against the wall, Li Shun held one end of the hemp rope, and the other end was firmly tied to the young master Li who was thrown outside the door, the candle flame under the red lantern was getting closer and closer, and the guide 04 looked out of the door nervously.

The fine sound of fingernails knocking on the door frame creaked, the quaint room oozed blood from the inside out, the temperature dropped imperceptibly, Xi Yu's hands and feet were numb from the cold, just in time, a touch of blood suddenly pasted the plain wooden door, and the mournful wails and screams exploded, and countless bloody handprints made the wooden door crash.

The sedan chair stopped in the courtyard, the graceful figure stood under the locust tree, and Young Master Li seemed to be awakened from his coma by these movements, who knew that as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a bunch of monsters that couldn't even be called human form and rushed past him and rushed to the room.

The wooden door was crumbling, and Young Master Li was stunned for a while.

Didn't he hide well in his courtyard? Why are you tied up here?

The sedan chair did not move, but the woman in the red embroidered wedding dress walked towards Master Li happily as if she had found the gift she had dreamed of.

The crying stopped, but turned into a sharp laughter, and the woman walked to the front of the room, staring at Xi Yu through the wall, assessing whether the gift was worth it for her to let Xi Yu go.

In the end, as Young Master Li cried in despair, the temperature in the room rose, and the blood color gradually faded, but the woman stood outside Xi Yumen, as if waiting for something.

It wasn't until Dongfang was white that the woman sat back in the sedan chair and left again, and the blood-red hemp rope was scattered all over the place, but Young Master Li was nowhere to go.

I didn't sleep for half a night, but Xi Yu's spirit was not bad, and she often stayed awake all night when she encountered a major case during her internship in the Serious Crime Team.

"I want to ask why she let me go?"

Facing Li Shun's curious gaze, Xi Yu yawned and took out a small bottle of yogurt from his backpack: "The essence of a ghost marriage is not a marriage contract, but a sacrifice, and the bride is not a participant, but a part of the sacrifice." ”

"You also said that our guests who were lured in are essentially sacrifices prepared for her by the Li family, and through our sacrifices, she is willing to raise you and slaughter you temporarily, and will not let you completely lose your soul."

Xi Yu's smile deepened: "Since you can obtain temporary forgiveness by preparing a sacrifice, why can't I prepare this sacrifice?" Compared to me, who has never even met me, she hates the Li family even more. ”

"She is subject to some restrictions, and she has not found Young Master Li until now, but I directly and unconditionally gave Young Master Li to her as a meeting gift, this is my ability and my sincerity."

The more Li Shun recalled this, the more he felt that something was wrong.

How do you listen to her, it seems that she wants to form an alliance with a female ghost.

Unlike the tour guide 04, Li Shun couldn't be too far away from Xi Yu, and the next morning, Xi Yu took Li Shun, who was dressed as a small servant, to the restaurant, and was thinking about how to explain Li Shun to everyone, followed by two respectful maids, and opened their mouths to say that the two were sent to serve the guests.

The two maids were so respectful that they were almost afraid, and when they saw Li Shun standing behind Xi Yu, they were both stunned.

Xi Yu tilted his head and thought about it, so he followed them.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was heavy, only Xu Cheng was eating breakfast as if no one was around, everyone knew about last night's movements, Xi Yu, who had saved people, was killed because of their selfishness, and everyone who had not completely accepted the rules of the strange world was extremely guilty, and they didn't even notice that there was one less person in the restaurant.

"What are you all pretending to be?" Xu Cheng sneered: "That woman is dead, who else do you want to show it?" ”

"Let me tell you with all my kindness."

Xu Cheng, who was immersed in joy, didn't realize that the door was pushed open, and happily clapped his hands and laughed: "That woman has countless underworld coins and yin goods on her, as long as she dies in strange talks, the person who took her body can inherit these things!" ”

"That's life-saving money!"

"If it weren't for that woman's bad luck and her death on the first night, I would have killed her!"

I see.

Xu Cheng's constant targeting and malice have been explained.

As Jiang Yingnian's subordinate, Xu Cheng knew much more than Xi Yu.

She cleared her throat at the right time, and Shi Shiran applauded him: "Very good speech, very exciting." ”

"If it weren't for the fact that I hadn't died, maybe someone would really believe you in sowing discord?"

In addition to the white shopkeepers who bring their own dark coins and special items, special items can also be obtained in the strange talk, Xiaoyue's diary is one of them, in addition to Xi Yu, others may also have special items, Xu Cheng's words are tantamount to pouring oil among the participants who have no foundation of trust.

Therefore, no matter whether what Xu Cheng said was true or not, Xi Yu had to deny him.

"Great! Sister Xi Yu, you're not dead! ”

Zhou Xiang happily approached Xi Yu's side, and was frightened by the maid and Li Shun who followed: "Uh, this is?" ”

"This is a personal maid prepared for me by the master of the Li Mansion to prevent the assassination of some people." Xi Yu glanced at the stunned Xu Cheng intentionally or unintentionally, and she counted the number of people: "There are still people who haven't arrived?" ”

Only then did everyone notice that the middle-aged man who had broken the rules at the earliest had not yet come to the restaurant.

The man who lived with him had already been killed by the chef and became yesterday's dinner, and the absence of the middle-aged man was not noticed for a while.

"The people who didn't come live in room three, right?" Xi Yu leaned sideways against the door frame, and didn't even throw a look at Xu Cheng: "I'm going to see what's going on, do you want to come along?" ”

Sun Xuanyi shook his head with another woman who had successfully escaped the strange conversation, and Zhou Xiang and Lin Qiu followed Xi Yu step by step.

Not too surprisingly, the door to room three was locked, and in front of the threshold was a paper figure with blood spots on its neck.

The facial features of the paper man are exaggerated stick figures, and he is wearing a paper shroud, but the style is very similar to the clothes of a middle-aged man.

"He, was he made a paper figure?" Zhou Xiang's face turned pale, and his voice trembled: "Why? ”

The familiar living person turned into a paper person, and the impact was greater than seeing the corpse directly, and Lin Qiu also clenched his hands, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xi Yu took out two lollipops from his pocket and handed them to Zhou Xiang and Lin Qiu: "Who knows?" Be careful, oh yes, don't fully trust the rules of the Lee Mansion. ”

"There's no evidence, but I think that the family that will force others to marry in the dark should not be very kind to strangers."

Xi Yu asked the two maids to bring shovels and shovels, and found a pit under a tree in the garden that was just enough to put the paper figure in.

"My family's ancestors are in the white business, and they are more particular about this aspect, even if there are no conditions, if they can do it, I still hope that he can settle down."

and lest she be resurrected in the middle of the night to find her trouble.

While placing the middle-aged man in the dirt pit, Xi Yu found a bloody embroidery thread from his completely papery body.

Keenly aware that something was wrong, she put away the embroidery thread and said to Zhou Xiang and the others in a calm tone as much as possible: "Next, I'm going to go to the kitchen to take a look, it's more dangerous if there are too many people, you can go to other places to find clues to leave first." ”
